I agree with Chris CA that this is the way I would *expect* iTunes to behave.
When I look at iTunes from my account (my music is in ~/Music/iTunes/ and not available to my spouse's account), I can see in my music library all my rips and my purchases, just as I would expect. I can use Store>View My Account (<myAppleID>) and all is as expected. Home sharing is NOT on.
Doing the same from the other account is not much different, actually. Nothing in the library yet, of course. Store>View My Account (<herAppleID>) also works. I CAN authorize my computer to play her music. I CAN view her iTunes purchases. When I attempt to download the purchases to HER library, though, I get the following dialog box:
Now I interpret this to mean that this computer (mine) will not download from a different AppleID (also mine) for 90 days. Is that [interpretation] correct?

Can I have two address books on one computer

Hi,
I have my standard address book I use and love. I am an artist and forever having to make slide labels. I have used many programs and databases to do this task. To my surprise address book would accomplish this amazing well. I just don't want to combine my art label information with my address stuff? So can I have two address files on one mac?

CC,
you can add a new user account on your Mac (open system preferences / accounts) and start fresh there with an empty AddressBook.
If you want to fill this with a part of your original AB, select those and export as vCards. Drop this export file in your shared folder so you can access that from the new user account. Open AB ther and import the vCards

Can you have two apple ids on one mac?

Can you have two apple ids on one mac? We each have iPhones and want to utilize iCloud. Is this possible?

No, in this case the 2 user accounts with its own Apple IDs would be completely seperated.
If you want to share this things like music and app purchases you will have to to something else.
1. Create two user accounts on your Mac (user A and user B).
2. Create two iCloud accounts just for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, etc. (one for user A and one for user B):
On your Mac (with Mac OS X Lion or Mountan Lion):
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud > Create an Apple ID (button in left corner)
On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (iOS 5 or later):
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Get a free @me.com address and create a new Apple ID
3. It is not recommended because you shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people but you could set up your old Apple ID as an account just for store purchases (Apps, Music, ...) so that everyone of you can manage the purchases in their own library (Access is limited to 10 devices). Therefore you have to setup this "old" ID in Settings of your iOS devices (Settings > iTunes & App Store) and in iTunes on your Mac.

Can I have two Address Books?

I have used a distribution list in Outlook for years to send a email to about 125 members of a professional organization. Now both MSN and Gmail say that I can't send this number of emails, as it might be SPAM.
So, I'm trying to get away from Outlook since I use Apple Mail now. I plan to import this list into a group in my Address Book but hate to have to manage these contacts along with all my other contacts.
Is there a way to have two contact lists, or two Address Books? I know the problem will probably still be there and I'll have to break the list down into several smaller groups to make this work (thanks SPAMMers!). But I don't trust Outlook since I've installed in on my MBP and want to do this group email using Mail.
Importing the list will take some careful planning of the text file to import from. Too bad you can't import from an Excel spreadsheet.
I know there are multiple subjects here. Any suggestions??

Thanks for the responses to this query. I was afraid that only one Address Book was allowed per user.
Guess I have no good option other than to put these contact into my Address Book and put them in a group. Probably will need to put them into several groups as it looks like most of the email programs now will not allow sending email to groups as large as this one (close to 150 contact names).
Seems like there should be a way to get around this restriction, but no being able to find help from these email groups, makes it difficult. There was a time when you could contact support people at msn.com or at some of the other commercial email providers. Not today.
I'll do a CVS import as suggested and go from there.

HT204053 can I have two cloud accounts on one mac. Different i tunes accounts and users

Can I have two ic;ouds on the same mac. This is a ridiculous set up. Why do I need to create a user name and insert all of this information just to get a simple answer. its no wonder people end up googling stuff rather than using this website.

If you prefer to Google, then Google. On here you stand a good chance of getting a direct answer from experienced users. And the login is necessary because without it we'd get more spam and stupid posts than we do now. Pretty well all online forums require an login for the same reason.
To answer your actual question. Firstly, you can use different Apple ID's for iTunes (and iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) and iCloud itself, with email, Calendar and Contacts syncing, PhotoStream, and so on. There is no conflict about doing this.
If you want to use two separate actual iCloud accounts you can do one of two things:
1. You can set up a second user account on your Mac: then each user account can be separately signed into and iCloud account with all its facilities.
2. Having decided which iCloud account is to be your main one, and having signed into System Preferences>iCloud with it (and enabled Mail, Calendars and so on) you can sign in with the other account in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars. The email, calendars and contacts will appear alongside those belonging to the first account. The only differences from the primary account are a) Email is not 'pushed' but checked at intervals, and b) you can only use PhotoStream with the primary account.

Can you have two address books on one icloud account?

My wife and I want separate contact lists. Is there any way to do this with 1 ICloud account?
Thanks,

No, you need separate iCloud accounts. If you want to maintain separate Address Books you and your wife should have separate user accounts on your Mac anyway.
You can setup separate Address Book groups within a Address Book in a single Mac user account.

Can I have two iTunes accounts on one Mac?

Can I share my Mac with my wife so that we can both sync our iTunes accounts. I do not want us to get music or contacts crossed. Thanks
RES

Yes. The easiest way is to create separate user account for each of you and log into iTunes with the appropriate AppleID in that account. Purchases, contacts, calendars, devices, etc will be kept entirely separate in the two accounts.
There is one caveat. You can each play your content, purchase content, and sync your devices; however, only one AppleID *per computer* (NOT per account) may re-download content (including auto-download) or subscribe to Match. : That AppleID may only change once every 90 days. It's a moronic rule that most people are unaware of until they get burned by it.

My husband bought a mac book pro with a larger screen and I have his smaller screen mac pro. His itunes are on my mac book pro. Do I have to delete his itunes to add mine? He has his itunes on his new mac book pro and iphone. Thanks!

Yes, you can. Use separate Mac OS X user accounts, or launch iTunes with the Option key held down and switch between libraries as needed.

How can I have two iTunes accounts on one mac?

I have a late model iMac and am running Lion. I have an account for myself with admin privileges. I also have an iTunes account and a music and video library in iTunes. I sync my iPod and iPhone to the iTunes account regularly.
I recently added my spouse as a "Standard" user. She has an iTunes account, an iPhone and an iPad. How do I get her iTunes configured to download her music and apps to sync with her devices without destroying my own music and apps in the process? We keep getting a warning that all my stuff will be deleted without the possibility of reinstatement for 90 days! What is up?

I agree with Chris CA that this is the way I would *expect* iTunes to behave.
When I look at iTunes from my account (my music is in ~/Music/iTunes/ and not available to my spouse's account), I can see in my music library all my rips and my purchases, just as I would expect. I can use Store>View My Account (<myAppleID>) and all is as expected. Home sharing is NOT on.
Doing the same from the other account is not much different, actually. Nothing in the library yet, of course. Store>View My Account (<herAppleID>) also works. I CAN authorize my computer to play her music. I CAN view her iTunes purchases. When I attempt to download the purchases to HER library, though, I get the following dialog box:

iTunes will remember the settings for each device after you set them up for the first time.

Can I have two different itunes accounts on my computer?

Can I have two different apple itunes accounts on my computer without them having anything to do with each other?

If you've used iTunes Match, automatic downloads or redownloaded an account's past purchases then you will have tied your computer to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - so you won't be able to do either of those 3 things on a different account until the 90 days have completed.
If you can't wait for the 90 days to finish then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can remove the association : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
